From the halls of Montezuma, To the shores of Tripoli;We fight our country's battlesIn the air, on land and sea;First to fight for right and freedomand to keep our honor cleanWe are proud to claim the title ofUNITED STATES MARINE.

Our flag's unfurled to every breezeFrom dawn to setting sun;We have fought in every clime and placeWhere we could take a gun;In the snow of far off northern landsAnd in sunny tropic scenes;You will find us always on the job-THE UNITED STATES MARINES.

Here's health to you and to our CorpsWhich we are proud to serve;In many a strife we've fought for lifeAnd never lost our nerve;If the Army and the NavyEver look on heaven's scenes;They will find the streets are guarded byUNITED STATES MARINES.
